Alex Brubaker

artists.

Denver resident, Alex Brubaker, is quickly gaining a reputation as an exciting, young musician who has placed himself at the forefront of musical experimentation. As a teenager in garage bands, his music leaned toward rock and heavy metal. After four years of music lessons Brubaker began focusing on developing his own style, based on the percussive fingerstyle genre.

Today, his “post-percussive fingerstyle” combines guitar-body percussion, alternate tunings, two-handed tapping, lap tapping, live looping, multiple guitars, and everything else he can think of that enables the guitar to be used in new and exciting ways. He released his debut album, “Deconstructing the Temporal Lobe” on Sept. 11, 2009.
